Parking permits are required to park in any lot on Mason property. Always read the signs to know if a lot or area is restricted to a certain type of permit. Never park in reserved, service/ repair, state vehicle, faculty/staff, or administrative spaces.

Information about permit sales, online citation appeals, and payment options is available online. Find out where the next shuttle is at any stop using Ride Systems—you’ll never have to ask where the bus is again! Visit mason.ridesystems.net or click the transit icon on the Mobile Mason application (gettheapp.gmu.edu).
Parking lots, areas, or spaces are enforced year round, including the first week of classes and even when classes are not in session. Don’t believe the myths and rumors about a grace period.

Parking lots can fill up fast. Allow extra time to find a space.
Campus Shuttles
Tuesdays and Thursdays (including evenings) are the busiest days on campus. On the busiest days, it is recommended that those arriving on campus after 10 a.m. should look for parking in Lots L and K. Those arriving after noon should look for parking at the Field House, which is a 15-minute walk to the Johnson Center, as the lots on east campus will often fill. Also, don’t forget that general lot permits are valid on Levels 1 and 2 of Rappahannock River Parking Deck, but not in the visitor area.
Visit shuttle.gmu.edu for updated shuttle schedules and to learn more about green transportation options that save you money and help decrease CO2 emissions.
Check the parking website, parking.gmu.edu, for the latest information regarding hours of enforcement and other important news affecting parking on campus even when classes are not in session. Visitor parking is available in Mason Pond, Shenandoah, and Rappahannock River Parking Decks, as well as in metered lots. Pay attention to your Mason email, as students are often emailed about temporary lot closures. Also, check building. gmu.edu for updates on events and construction.
